Sorry Kris can't help you samples but Rob may be able to from his post.As for the Janis Joplin camparison ? I wouldn't say that really. Yes they cover one of the songs she's known for but they really rock it up. Actually Rough Cutt covered the same song and Slammin's version is similar to that. Vocally there isa similarity to Paul Shortino but in a higher register. Very powerful vocals throughout the cd. Try ebay or gemm to find a copy.
